SHE Media reviews

The company has shifted leadership to the New York City office away from the Scottsdale office. This has created a toxic divide in the culture of the company. The executive team is trying to build the value of the company as quickly as possible. They try to quickly hire VPs and other executives they hope will turn the company around but most of these new leaders lack expertise. The focus is on acquiring new companies instead of developing the current one. There is zero opportunity to move up in the company especially if you are in the Arizona office. Most of the staff in the Arizona office believes there will be significant layoffs by 2017.

Where to begin: don't be fooled by the Positive reviews written by HR and upper management. You aren't fooling anyone. You are hired with rose colored glasses with everyone on their best behavior faking how happy they are working here. After a few months the glasses come off and you see there is a repressive cloud of negativity, horrible morale and constant rumors of layoffs and downsizing. People don't interact. Everyone works in their silos with no knowledge sharing. You realize months after working on a project that multiple teams were working on the same project with no resolution. You can be the smartest, brightest, most dedicated hard working individual and you will never get ahead. There is no vision. Management are constantly having ego battles and low level employees become scapegoats for continually failing to hit growth levels. They frown on working remotely as big brother can't keep his eye on you and make sure you clock in on time. You would think a media company would be forward thinking and they will give lip service that they are, but when it comes down to it, the culture is more akin to a 90s totalitarian office.
